GlobalSCAPE, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
Nature of Business
GlobalSCAPE, founded in April 1996, develops, distributes and supports Internet related software including content management, file management and Web development solutions. The Company is best known for its popular file transfer program, CuteFTP. The Company derives its revenues primarily from sales of licenses to use its software products. Sales of CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro accounted for approximately 85% and 75% of total revenues in 2002 and the first nine months of 2003, respectively. The Company is organized and operates as one segment and markets its products through the Internet, an internal sales force and through resellers.
Corporate Structure
All of the Company’s operations are conducted by GlobalSCAPE Texas, LP, a Texas limited partnership. The partners of GlobalSCAPE Texas, LP are two Nevada limited liability companies, which are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of GlobalSCAPE, Inc., a Delaware corporation. GlobalSCAPE, Inc. is approximately 71% owned by the Brown and Mann-GlobalSCAPE Joint Venture, with the remainder held publicly. GlobalSCAPE, Inc. is a holding company and conducts no operations, however, the stock of GlobalSCAPE, Inc. is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. References to “GlobalSCAPE” or the “Company” refer collectively to all of these entities unless otherwise indicated.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X, “Interim Financial Statements.” Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required under generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been made. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The Balance Sheet at December 31, 2002 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes included in GlobalSCAPE’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.
Liquidity
The Company maintained its positive working capital position through the third quarter of 2003 through a combination of revenue growth and continued expense control. The Company incurred significant operating losses during the year ended December 31, 2002 and the quarter ended March 31, 2003 but returned to profitability for both the second and third quarters of 2003. GlobalSCAPE’s operating loss in the first quarter of 2003 was due primarily to a 14% decline in revenues as compared to the same period in 2002 as well as approximately $460,000 of expenditures for marketing and advertising programs in connection with the release of its content management product, PureCMS. Management addressed the liquidity issues by reducing marketing costs subsequent to the first quarter of 2003 as described in the Liquidity section of the Notes to Financial Statements in the Quarterly Report on Form 10Q filed for the first quarter of 2003. GlobalSCAPE reduced selling, general and administrative expenses by approximately $489,000 from the first to second quarter of 2003 primarily through reductions in marketing costs while revenues grew approximately 17% over the same period. Revenues grew approximately 2% from the second to third quarter of 2003 while total operating expenses grew approximately 4%.
5
The Company is highly dependent on the sale of two software products, CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro, which may be subject to technological and competitive obsolescence. Revenues from these two products declined approximately 7% from 2001 to 2002 and approximately 18% when comparing the first nine months of 2002 to the same period in 2003. However, much of the decline in revenues from the sale of these two products was offset by sales of newer products such as Secure FTP Server, PureCMS and Web Survey. Total revenues declined only 5% when comparing the first nine months of 2002 to 2003 and revenues increased 4% from the third quarter of 2002 to the third quarter of 2003.
In the 10Q filed May 15, 2003, the Company discussed its intent to implement new sales processes intended to improve sales of the PureCMS product and those of CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro. Staffing and implementation of these plans was substantially complete by July 1, 2003 and the Company expects to see the results of these efforts in subsequent periods. However, there can be no assurance that these new sales efforts will be successful in stemming or reversing the sales declines the Company has experienced relative to the CuteFTP and the CuteFTP Pro products.
The Company also described minimum royalty commitments related to the PureCMS product in the 10Q filed May 15, 2003. The total minimum royalty payable in 2003 is $183,337, of which $150,003 was paid and expensed as of September 30, 2003 leaving only $33,334 payable through the remainder of the year.
The Company obtained a $250,000 revolving line of credit agreement with a commercial bank on March 27, 2003, which is due on demand, but if no demand is made, then in March, 2004. The interest rate is subject to change and is indexed to the bank’s prime rate. The initial rate is 6.25%. In connection with the line of credit, GlobalSCAPE entered into a Commercial Security Agreement with the bank whereby GlobalSCAPE granted a security interest in all its accounts and equipment. The Company borrowed $100,000 on September 11, 2003 under this agreement. This amount remains outstanding as of the date of this report.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on operating income as previously reported.
Variable Interest Entities
On January 1, 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“FIN 46”). FIN 46 addresses consolidation of business enterprises of variable interest entities. FIN 46 is effective immediately for all variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003 and for the first fiscal year or interim period ending after December 15, 2003 for variable interest entities in which an enterprise holds a variable interest that it acquired before February 1, 2003. The Company has not acquired any variable interest entities subsequent to January 31, 2003 and will therefore adopt FIN 46 for its annual report for the year ending December 31, 2003. Adoption of FIN 46 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Sale / Disposal of Assets
During the first quarter of 2003, the Company disposed of equipment and software with an original purchase price of $69,738 and accumulated depreciation of $68,252. GlobalSCAPE recognized a loss of $1,486 related to the disposal of these assets. There were no disposals of fixed assets during the second or third quarters of 2003.
6
Amortization of Core Software Technology
The costs incurred for the acquisition of CuteFTP were fully amortized as of September 30, 2003. The acquisition cost of $898,943 was amortized over the estimated useful life of five years using the straight-line method. As a result, amortization expense will decrease by approximately $45,000 per quarter in future periods.
Accrued Expenses
Accrued expenses increased approximately $126,000 from December 31, 2002 to September 30, 2003. This increase is due primarily to increased accruals for earned vacation, salaries, commissions and bonuses.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation” (SFAS No. 123), and elected to use the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock option plan in accordance with Accounting Principles Board opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” and related interpretations under which compensation expense is recorded to the extent that the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price.
During the third quarter of 2003, 56,000 options were granted to various employees at an average exercise price of $0.20 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, no options were exercised. However, 1,000,000 options expired on March 20, 2003. The exercise price for 500,000 of these options was $1.00 per share. The remaining 500,000 had an exercise price of $0.46 per share.
On December 15, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure” (SFAS No. 148), which amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 requires more prominent and frequent disclosures about the effects of stock-based compensation. The Company will continue to account for its stock-based compensation according to the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 under which compensation expense is recorded to the extent that the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement 148, which also requires that the information be determined as if the Company had accounted for its stock options granted subsequent to December 31, 1994 under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value of these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.
For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options’ vesting period. The Company’s pro forma information for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2003 follows:
| | Three Months Ended September 30, 2003 | | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2003 | |

Earnings per Common Share
Basic and diluted net income per common share is presented in conformity with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share” (SFAS 128) for all periods presented. Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted effect of all common shares issued and outstanding, and is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Below is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of basic and diluted earnings per share for each of the periods presented:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. “Forward looking statements” are those statements that describe management’s beliefs and expectations about the future. We have identified forward-looking statements by using words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “may,” “expect,” and “intend.” Although we believe these expectations are reasonable, our operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those described in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. GlobalSCAPE’s actual results could differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report.
Overview
GlobalSCAPE develops, distributes and supports Internet related software including content management, file management and Web development solutions. We market our products through the Internet, an internal sales force and through resellers. During 2002, approximately 62% of our revenues were generated from customers within the United States, with the remaining 38% concentrated mostly in Western Europe, Canada and Australia. During the first nine months of 2003, these figures were approximately 65.5% and 34.5%, respectively. CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro accounted for 85% and 75% of total revenues in 2002 and the first nine months of 2003, respectively. Revenues from these two products declined approximately 7% from 2001 to 2002 and approximately 18% from the first nine months of 2002 when compared to the same period in 2003. However, much of the decline in revenues from the sale of these two products was offset by sales of newer products such as PureCMS, Secure FTP Server and Web Survey. Total revenues declined only 5% when comparing the first nine months of 2002 to 2003 and revenues increased 4% when comparing the third quarter of 2002 to the third quarter of 2003.
Our strategy is to continue to introduce new products while enhancing the features of our current product line. We dedicated considerable resources in the fourth quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003 to the development and market launch of PureCMS, our content management product. Our success in 2003 depends, to a great extent, on our ability to market and sell the PureCMS product effectively as well as our ability to maintain the revenues generated by CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro. In general, our success depends on our ability to introduce new products and the market’s acceptance of these products.
Our current products include:
• PureCMS, a content management product targeting companies with small to medium-size Web site development teams. Content management solutions permit contributors from various disciplines within a company to directly control designated content on the company’s Web site, more efficiently manage resources and reduce maintenance costs;

In July of 2003, we implemented a new pricing and usage scheme for CuteFTP and CuteFTP PRO to give our customers a broader range of choices for these products. Customers can now purchase these products for 1, 3, 7 or 30 days as well as perpetual licenses. We cannot yet determine the impact that this pricing change has had on our business. In addition, we discontinued offering Web hosting services during the quarter. Web hosting services did not provide significant revenues to our business.
On July 1, 2003, the European Union (EU) began imposing Value Added Taxes (VAT) on certain electronic transactions. We are required to collect VAT on sales to non-business customers within the EU. These taxes range from 15% to 25% depending on the country. It is too early to tell what impact these taxes will have on our business, but any increase in cost to the purchaser presumably impacts demand negatively.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based upon the Company’s financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, long-lived and intangible assets, income taxes, contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates on historical experience, observable trends, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management uses this information to make judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent form other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Management believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenue is generated primarily by licensing our software products and providing support for those products. Revenues are comprised of the gross selling price of the software, including shipping charges and the earned portion of support and maintenance agreements. The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, as modified by SOP 98-9, Modification of SOP 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition, With Respect to Certain Transactions.
Revenues from the sale of software products are recognized and completely earned upon shipment or electronic delivery of the product provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, collection is probable, payment terms are fixed and determinable and no significant obligations remain.
We also sell technical support and maintenance agreements (post contract customer support “PCS”), which are sometimes bundled with the software. When vendor specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) of fair value exists for all elements in a multiple element arrangement, revenue is allocated to each element based on the relative fair value of each of the elements. VSOE of fair value is established by the price charged when the same element is sold separately. In a multiple element arrangement whereby
10
VSOE of fair value of all undelivered elements exists but VSOE of fair value does not exist for one or more delivered elements, revenue is recognized using the residual method. Under the residual method, the fair value of the undelivered elements is deferred and the remaining portion of the arrangement fee is recognized as revenue, assuming collection is probable. Revenue allocated to PCS is recognized ratably over the contractual term, typically one year.
The Company began selling technical support and maintenance services for some of its software products in 2001 and had deferred recognition of approximately $11,000 in revenue at the end of that year. Deferred revenue grew to a balance of approximately $142,000 at December 31, 2002 and $171,000 at September 30, 2003. The rate of growth in deferred revenue was due primarily to the rapid growth in the sale of technical support and maintenance agreements in the fourth quarter of 2002 and the first quarter of 2003. However, sales of maintenance and support contracts declined in second and third quarters of 2003 when compared to the first quarter even as total sales increased. If the level of sales of technical support and maintenance agreements remains the same or declines, the balance of deferred revenues will stabilize or decline. However, if sales grow, this balance will increase, resulting in the deferred recognition of a significant amount of revenue in future periods.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We provide credit, in the normal course of business, to a number of companies and perform ongoing evaluations of our credit risk. We require no collateral from our customers and we estimate the allowance for uncollectible accounts based on our historical experience and current credit evaluations. No single customer accounted for more than 2% of revenues in 2002 or the first nine months of 2003.
Valuation of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors considered important which could trigger an impairment review included the following: significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future cash flows; significant changes in the manner of use of the assets or the strategy for the overall business; and significant negative industry trends. When management determines that the carrying value of long-lived and intangible assets may not be recoverable, impairment is measured based on the excess of the assets’ carrying value over the estimated fair value. No impairment was recognized in 2002 or the first nine months of 2003.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and elected to use the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock option plan in accordance with Accounting Principles Board opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations under which compensation expense is recorded to the extent that the current market price of the underlying stock exceeds the exercise price.
During the third quarter of 2003, 56,000 options were granted to various employees at an average exercise price of $0.20 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, no options were exercised. However, 1,000,000 options expired on March 20, 2003. The exercise price for 500,000 of these options was $1.00 per share. The remaining 500,000 had an exercise price of $0.46 per share.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses include all direct costs, primarily salaries for personnel and expenditures with external development sources, related to the development of new products and significant enhancements to existing products and are expensed as incurred until such time as technological feasibility is achieved. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003, we spent approximately $594,000 and $648,000, respectively, on research and development. No research and development
11
expenses were capitalized in either of these periods and all previously capitalized research and development expenses were fully amortized at December 31, 2002.
Income Taxes
GlobalSCAPE accounts for income taxes using the liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The liability method provides that the deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes, as measured by the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are carried on the balance sheet with the presumption that they will be realizable in future periods when pre-taxable income is generated.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109 requires a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets reported if, based on the weight of the evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Based on these criteria, management has concluded that no income tax benefits are to be recorded related to the net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, because we cannot be certain of the future period recoverability of tax assets generated from any available net operating losses.
Comparison of the Three Months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003
Revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003, total revenues increased $45,513 or 4% from $1,291,169 to $1,336,682 due to growing sales of PureCMS and Web Survey and an increase in unit volume from 43,871 to 55,024 between the respective periods. The increase in unit volume was offset somewhat by a $5.14 decline in the average selling price per unit. The increase in unit volume was due primarily to site license sales of CuteFTP Pro. Site licenses typically sell at a reduced price per unit. Combined revenues from CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro declined approximately 13% over the comparable periods and accounted for approximately 71% of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2003.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of production, packaging and shipping costs for boxed copies of software products as well as a portion of our bandwidth costs, certain licensing expenses and royalties. Cost of revenues increased $54,258 or 73% between periods from $74,146 for the three months ended September 30, 2002 to $128,404 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 due to increased royalty expenses related to our technology licensing agreement for the PureCMS product. We expect cost of revenues to increase both as a percentage of sales and in gross terms in future periods due to this and other royalty agreements.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses, marketing, customer support, rents, credit card transaction fees, bad debt and professional fees. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003, selling, general and administrative expenses were $814,486 and $790,200, respectively, a decrease of $24,286 or 3%. The number of persons employed by GlobalSCAPE was unchanged at 37 on September 30, 2002 and September 30, 2003.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $28,487 or 14% between periods, from $198,080 to $226,567. The increase was due to greater expenditures for external development resources as well as higher personnel costs for internal staff.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation expense related to our fixed assets, amortization of the trademark associated with our purchase of CuteFTP and in prior periods, amortization of capitalized development costs. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased from $136,897 to $106,511, a decrease of 22%. This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in amortization expense. Previously capitalized software development costs were fully amortized at
12
December 31, 2002. In addition, depreciation expense has declined due to a slowdown in additions to fixed assets in current periods relative to prior periods.
Other Income, Expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003, interest expense increased from $908 to $1,016, respectively. The majority of interest expense incurred during these periods was related to capital leases.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income (loss) included in the Statements of Operations. Federal income tax expense was $21,892 for the three months ended September 30, 2002. State income tax expense was $3,034 for the same period. GlobalSCAPE’s effective income tax rate was 37% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate in the three months ended September 30, 2002, due primarily to the effect of state income taxes and the financial accounting recognition of compensation expense related to stock option grants which are non-deductible costs for income tax purposes.
We recognized no federal tax expense related to the net income in the third quarter of 2003. The amount of current tax expense generated from quarterly taxable income was offset by a reduction in the valuation allowance posted in prior periods against deferred tax assets. As discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10K, we cannot be certain of the future period recoverability of tax assets generated from available net operating losses.
Comparison of the Nine Months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003
Revenue. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003, total revenues decreased $180,032 or 5% from $3,946,608 to $3,766,576 due primarily to lower unit volume of single license sales in the first quarter of 2003. The first quarter decline in revenues over the comparable period in 2002 was $185,716. Total unit sales of our software products increased from 127,355 to 137,148 for the nine-month periods. However, site license sales, which are typically at reduced prices, propped up unit volume in both the first and third quarters of 2003. The average selling price per unit declined $3.53 over the respective periods due to these site license sales. Revenues from CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro declined approximately 18% between periods while total revenues declined only 4%. Total revenues were supported by increased sales of PureCMS, Secure FTP Server and Web Survey.
Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of production, packaging and shipping costs for boxed copies of software products as well as a portion of our bandwidth costs, certain licensing expenses and royalties. Cost of revenues increased $139,015 or 53% between periods due to increased royalty expenses related to our technology licensing agreement for the PureCMS product. We expect cost of revenues to increase both as a percentage of sales and in gross terms in future periods due to this and other royalty agreements.
Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel and related expenses, marketing, customer support, rents, credit card transaction fees, bad debt and professional fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $233,544 or 9%. The increase was due to approximately $460,000 in product launch expenses related to PureCMS offset by the approximately $190,000 in expenses related to the termination of our former CEO in the second quarter of 2002. The number of persons employed by GlobalSCAPE remained unchanged at 37 on September 30, 2002 and 2003.
Research and Development. Research and development expenses increased $54,010 or 9% between periods, from $593,649 to $647,659. The increase was due to greater expenditures on both internal and external development resources.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense consists of depreciation expense related to our fixed assets, amortization of the trademark associated with our purchase of CuteFTP and in prior periods, amortization of capitalized development costs. Depreciation and amortization expense
13
decreased from $412,030 to $332,848, a decrease of 19%. This decrease was due primarily to a reduction in amortization expense. Previously capitalized software development costs were fully amortized at December 31, 2002. In addition, depreciation expense has declined due to a slowdown in additions to fixed assets in current periods relative to prior periods.
Settlement with ATSI Communications Inc. On June 11, 2002, ATSI Communications, Inc. sold its majority interest in GlobalSCAPE, Inc. to Brown and Mann-GlobalSCAPE Joint Venture, a Texas general partnership owned by San Antonio-based investors Thomas W. Brown and David L. Mann. Contemporaneously with this transaction, GlobalSCAPE agreed to compromise and settle a $612,304 inter-company balance owed to it by ATSI, which resulted in charges to GlobalSCAPE of $392,905. The balance was settled for (i) 200,000 in cash from ATSI; (ii) NTFC Capital Corporation’s release of GlobalSCAPE as a co-borrower on a capital lease executed by ATSI in 1999, and (iii) ATSI’s agreement to provide $50,000 worth of transition support services to GlobalSCAPE over the nine months ending March 11, 2003, including payroll administration and GlobalSCAPE’s continued use of a shared accounting platform. However, we completed our transition from ATSI’s payroll and accounting systems during the third quarter of 2002 and expensed the remainder of the support services as selling, general and administrative expenses, approximately $46,000, during that quarter. In addition, prepaid insurance coverage under a joint policy with ATSI was lost to GlobalSCAPE as a result of the change in control, resulting in a charge against GlobalSCAPE’s prepaid assets of $27,083 during the second quarter of 2002.
Other Income, Expense. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003, interest expense decreased from $6,255 to $3,071, respectively. The majority of interest expense incurred during these periods was related to capital leases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002 we recognized $20,756 in interest income related to loans made to ATSI Communications, Inc. These loan balances were settled as part of the settlement with ATSI and will not generate interest income in future periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2003, we recognized a loss on the disposal of fixed assets in the amount of $1,486.
Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes is computed based on the pretax income (loss) included in the Statement of Operations. The tax benefit for federal income taxes was $106,714 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The tax benefit for state income taxes was $14,789 for the same period. GlobalSCAPE’s effective income tax rate was 45% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The Company’s effective income tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate due primarily to the effect of state income taxes and the financial accounting recognition of compensation expense related to stock option grants which are non-deductible costs for income tax purposes.
We recognized no benefit related to the net loss in the first nine months of 2003 because we cannot be certain of the future period recoverability of tax assets generated from available net operating losses.
Net Income (Loss). GlobalSCAPE incurred net losses of $149,775 and $426,250 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003, respectively. The net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was due to the settlement with ATSI and expenses associated with the termination of our former CEO. The net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was due to the approximately $460,000 in product launch expenses in the first quarter of 2003 and the near $186,000 decline in revenues in that same quarter when compared to the first quarter of 2002.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We rely heavily on cash flows from operations and these cash flows are directly linked to CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro, which accounted for approximately 85% and 75% of our revenues in 2002 and the nine months ended September 30, 2003, respectively. Revenues from these two products declined approximately 7% from 2001 to 2002 and approximately 18% when comparing the first nine months of 2002 to the same period in 2003. However, much of the decline in revenues from the sale of these two products was offset by sales of newer products such as Secure FTP Server, PureCMS and Web Survey.
14
Total revenues declined only 5% when comparing the first nine months of 2002 to 2003 and revenues increased 4% from the third quarter of 2002 to the third quarter of 2003.
Anything that has a negative impact on CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro, such as decreased demand, will negatively impact our cash flow from operations and our ability to meet our commitments. Demand for our products could be affected by many factors including rapid technological obsolescence. For more discussion on the risks that might affect demand for our products, you should read the information under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10K filed March 31, 2003.
In the 10Q filed May 15, 2003, the Company discussed its intent to implement new sales processes intended to improve sales of the PureCMS product and those of CuteFTP and CuteFTP Pro. Staffing and implementation of these plans was substantially complete by July 1, 2003 and the Company expects to see the results of these efforts in subsequent periods. However, there can be no assurance that these new sales efforts will be successful in stemming or reversing the sales declines the Company has experienced relative to the CuteFTP and the CuteFTP Pro products.
The Company also described minimum royalty commitments related to the PureCMS product in the 10Q filed May 15, 2003. The total minimum royalty payable in 2003 is $183,337, of which $150,003 was paid and expensed as of September 30, 2003 leaving only $33,334 payable through the remainder of the year.
The Company obtained a $250,000 revolving line of credit agreement with a commercial bank on March 27, 2003, which is due on demand, but if no demand is made, then in March, 2004. The interest rate is subject to change and is indexed to the bank’s prime rate. The initial rate is 6.25%. In connection with the line of credit, GlobalSCAPE entered into a Commercial Security Agreement with the bank whereby GlobalSCAPE granted a security interest in all its accounts and equipment. The Company borrowed $100,000 on September 11, 2003 under this agreement. This amount remains outstanding as of the date of this report.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $377,025 for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Cash provided by operations during this period was primarily the result of the settlement with ATSI and adjustments related to depreciation and amortization, offset by the net loss for the period and increased accounts receivable. Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 was $13,384. Cash used in operations for this period was primarily the result of the net loss for the period offset by adjustments related to depreciation and amortization and increases in accrued expenses.
Net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2003 was $68,083 and $47,543, respectively. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was comprised of $200,000 in loans to ATSI, $200,000 received as part of the settlement with ATSI and $68,083 in purchases of computers and software. Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2003 is comprised of purchases of computers and software.
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $33,891 and is comprised of $22,138 in receipts related to the exercise of stock options and $56,029 in principal payments on capital lease obligations. Net cash used in financing activities for the period ended September 30, 2003 was $54,383 and is comprised of $45,617 in principal payments on capital lease obligations and $100,000 in bank borrowings under the line of credit described previously in this section.
As of September 30, 2003 we had $474,065 in cash, current assets of $825,724 and current liabilities of $620,504, resulting in working capital of $205,220, a $353,632 improvement over the working capital deficit of $148,412 at March 31, 2003. Our principal commitments consisted of obligations outstanding under capital and operating leases as well as royalty agreements with third parties and trade accounts payable. We plan to continue to expend significant resources on product development in future periods and may also use our cash to acquire or license technology, products or businesses related to our current business. We expect that operating expenses will continue to be a material use of our cash
15
resources as well. The facility that we currently occupy is expected to be sufficient for our growth for the next twelve months. Consequently, we do not anticipate significant expenditures for leasehold improvements or furniture in the near future.
Inflation
Increases in inflation generally result in higher interest rates and operating costs. Our greatest exposure is to the cost of salaries and general and administrative expenses. To date we believe that inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations.
Seasonality
We believe our sales are subject to seasonal variations. We experience significantly less sales volume during national holidays and weekends when compared to normal business days. In 2000, we experienced a decline in software sales from the third to fourth quarter, primarily due to lower December sales. Third and fourth quarter revenues in 2001 were comparable, however, we believe this was the result of unusually weak demand in September of that year which skewed the comparison. In 2002, fourth quarter revenues were slightly higher than the third quarter due to a fourth quarter upgrade release of CuteFTP Pro that bolstered revenues for the period. However, we expect that in future periods we will see weakness in the fourth quarter when compared to the third quarter due to the holiday season. We do not believe that the decline in sales from the fourth quarter of 2002 to the first quarter of 2003 was due to seasonal factors nor do we believe that the increase in sales from the first quarter to the second quarter of 2003 was seasonal.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
To date, we have not utilized derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments. We do not expect to employ these or other strategies to hedge market risk in the foreseeable future. We may invest our cash in money market funds, which are subject to minimal credit and market risk. We believe that the interest rate risk and other relevant market risks associated with these financial instruments are immaterial.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2003, approximately 34.5% of our revenues came from customers outside the United States. All revenues are received in U.S. dollars so we have no exchange rate risk with regard to the sale. However, as of July 1st of this year, the European Union (EU) enacted Value Added Taxes (VAT) on electronic purchases. These taxes are charged to our non-business customers in the EU and, in our case, are remitted quarterly in pound sterling. We expect that the impact of this currency translation will not be material to our business.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Within the 90 days prior to the filing date of this report, our President and Vice President of Finance and Administration carried out an evaluation of GlobalSCAPE’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined SEC Rules 13a-14 and 15d-14 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) and concluded that the controls and procedures are effective in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting the information required to be disclosed by GlobalSCAPE in the reports it files with the SEC under the Exchange Act within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
b) Changes in internal controls. There were no material changes in GlobalSCAPE’s internal controls subsequent to the evaluation described above.
